Lady Midlothian went away on her road to London on the Wednesday morning, and A lice was to follow her on the next day. It was now December, and the weather was very clear and frosty, but at night there was bright moonlight. On this special night the moon would be full, and Lady Glencora had declared that she and A lice would go out amidst the ruins. It was no secret engagement, having been canvassed in public, and having been met with considerable discouragement by some of the party. Mr. Palliser had remarked that the night air would be very cold, and Mr. Bott had suggested all manner of evil consequences. Had Mr. Palliser alone objected. Lady Glencora might have given way, but Mr. Botts word riveted her purpose. We are not going to be frightened, Lady Glencora said. People do not generally walk out at night in December, Mr. Palliser observed. That sjust the reason why we want to do it said Lady Glencora.
